One of the rare expressionist paintings by Bernhard Hoetger, not published yet. The colour develops an independant dynamic due to the thickly applied paint and agitated brushwork, emphasising the material of the paint. This corresponds in a most beautiful manner to the depicted motive: sailing boats on rough and choppy seas.

Provenance

Formerly collection Carl Hoetger, cousin of the artist, Bocholt/Essen; private collection
